A Cook County Case.

CHICAGO. Ill.,, August 6.-This afternoon
States Attorney Grinnell called up the
motion for a new trial for the convicted
boodlers. In doing 80 he stated that they
had not vet had the decency to hand in
their designations and he demanded that
they do so at once. It seems that the re-
fusal on the part of the boodlers to resign
may, under certain circumstances, produce
the deadlock that will prevent the levying
of any taxes FOR the county. Their convic-
tion of an infamous crime makes vacant
the offices held by the criminals, but the
law is so framed that the county board
must declare that the vacancy
exists and without the cooperation OF
the boodlers this can hardly be done.
After much discussion. counsel for defense
succeeded in getting matters delayed until
Monday with the understanding that it
the boodlers resign in the meantime, time
of arguing motion for a new trial would be
put off till September. The boodlers who
were merely fined withdrew the motion
for a new trial. Commissioner Leyden
was allowed to 60 to bis home in charge OF
two de puties this afternoon on the repre-
sentation of his family physician that Mrs.
Leyden was dying.

THE HAWAIIAN RACKET.
Gibson Says he Will Return In October
The Bonds Pronounced Worthless.

Gibson Says he Will Return in October
SAN FRANCISCO, August 6.-Speaking of
the uprising Of the people on the island
of Hawaii, Gibson said: ut was
thought the Hawaiian Kingdom was
liable to such fluctuations as the recent
trouble had made manifest. It
ought not to be necessary to have armed
forces for the Government, but now, since
it ia dem, nstrated that such fluctuations
as this is likely to occur, they will have to
have an army and arrange to maintain
guaranty of protection from some OF the
nations from United States or Great Britain
People there think great deal OF the
United States, all the property
of the islands is really American
property. "Gibson expects to obtain the
required rest and recreation in California
and says he intends, il nothing prevents,
to return to the islands by the first steamer
in October. Despite the explanation
made by the Ex.Premer as to the manner
of his departure from Honolulu, the captain
of the brig Spreckles says his departure
was
ARRANGED BY SOME OF HIS FRIENDS,
who feared for his safety, and that, in
fact, he was smuggled out of the kingdom.
When he appeared on board the ship the
captain says he showed the effect OF the
excitement through which he had passed,
but when the ship bore away from the
city he soon regained his composure.
Among the comments of the Hawaiian
newspapers received here to-day is the
intimation that the new ministry will re-
pudiate the loan recently effected in En-
gland. It is stated that the new premier,
Green, claims that
THE BONDS ARE WORTHLESS,
in that they were not issued in accordance
with Legislative act which prescribed that
they should be printed in denominations
of American money, when in fact they are
issued in English pounds. Another objec-
ton to the legality of the issue is that one
of the signatures required is printed and
not written. Paul Kanca. the Kanaka
statesman who cannot write his name, had
to sign the bonds in some manner, and had
his name printed. 1t is said that Green
and his associates have already been
warned by the British Consul that their
plans will meet with the disapproval OF the
British Government, and will have to be
altered to suit the wishes OF those who
have invested their capital in good faith.
